If they do they were not used corectly.. the rigidity and load handling of these is more than a 2X10 and can maintain this over a longer span.
The problem is when they first were being used the builders tended to see how long of a span they could get away with.

I agree with Kari. My new house floor is very flexy and this is not even at their max span length. when the dogs walk by you the floor flexes. This is probably the way it's supposed to be but they do definatley flex.
Just for kick's every new house I have been in latley I have checked this out and they all seem to be the same with regards to the amount of flexyness.
Babble, babble, babble......blah, blah, blah.
I'll shut up now.
cheers
